Application filed January 6, 1912. Serial No. 869,723.

To all 'whom it may concern Be it known that I, CARL Gr. SWENsoN, acitizen of the United States, residing at Worcester, in the county ofWorcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented new curing Socketsto Bails, of which the following is a specification.

-My invention relates to the manner o securing together two metal parts,one of which is a solid cylindrical rod and the passing throii thelatter transversely, or at right anglest its axis.

As an example of a joint made by my improved method, I have selected forillustration th'e joint between the tubular handlesocket of a .sweeperor vacuum cleaner and the bail member `to which said socket is secured.

In the accompanying draWing,-Figure 1 is a persiective view of the bailand socket connecte Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the same, andFig. 3 is a crosssec tion of the socket taken just above the plane ofthe bail.A 4

The socket is shown at 1, the same being a sleeve, threaded internallyat 2 for the reception of the handle for the major portion of itslength, and having a bore 3 of smaller diameter for' the remainingportion.

The bail is shown at 4, and is passed;

through alined openings 5, formed inthe wall of the socket, at thebottom of the threaded portion.

To secure the socket and bail rigidlyf together, that portion of thelatter, lying within the former between said openings 5, is subjected tothe action ot swaging dies, which flatten and" expand it, as shown at 6,causing it to fill the bore of the socket, whereby the lat-ter isrigidly secured on the bail.

Of course, it desired, the .joint may be welded, brazed oi' soldered inaddition.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is The method ofjoining a tubular member, having a bore of reduced diameter at one end,and a solid rod, at right angles to each4 other, which consists indrilling alined holes through the, walls of the tubular member, the axisof said holes lying approximately at the junction of the larger andsmaller.

bores in said member, passing the rod through said holes, and Finallyflattening and expanding that portion of the rod lying within thetubular member.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence oftwolsubscribing witnesses.
